"NOT In The Name of JESUS: ACCESS DENIEDI"

The Word of Truth is being corrupted by an ever increasing army of selfish church leaders who are only interested in self preservation, financial gain and situational longevity. This perversity is being fueled by numerous congregations that fail to study, read and meditate on God's Word and are, in actuality, "functional biblical illiterates."

In the Name of Jesus (ITNOJ) what is going on? I went to visits my friend at his job and where he works there is high level security. In other words, I had to use his name to gain access to the building. But first, he had to send my name to the security desk and inform them that I was coming. If I didn't use his name, I wouldn't have been allowed access. Conversely, if I had given the security team a name other than my own, I would have also been denied access.

What am I saying? I am saying that there is power in your name. A "good name" name means something.  Jesus was not a surprise to us. The Holy Spirit informed us of His impending arrival long before He got here. God left His name at the gate and the angels escorted Him into the earth realm. Once here, God confirmed that this was the Messiah He had prophesied. Jesus then proceeded to walk out the name He had been given by His Father. He was to be the Savior of the world. "A good name is to be chosen rather than riches; Loving favor rather than silver and gold." (Proverbs 22:1)

The wisdom of Solomon (meaning "peace" in Hebrew) is evident in this scripture. He implores the reader to "choose" a good name (make the decision intentionally and then walk out that name with integrity and honor). When your father gives you a good name, it is his expectation that you manifest the intent of that name. When the Lord God gave Joseph and Mary the name for Jesus ("Savior") it was God's expectation that He become Savior. Anything less would be unacceptable!

What has been created in the modern day church (MDC) is a systematic dismantling of TNOJ. His name has been replaced by isms and skisms and titles and pomp and circumstance. His name has been tossed around haphazardly in support of all manners of evil, false doctrine, corrupt teaching and manipulation. Prayer has been marginalized ITNOJ. Faith has been compromised ITNOJ. Fortunes have been lost and stolen ITNOJ. Houses of perversion and degradation have been built ITNOJ. The people of God have been enslaved to mankind ITNOJ! The message to these hirelings is simply, "stop it!" Stop saying you're doing these things ITNOJ because you are NOT!

This has all been done and much, much more NOT ITNOJ! This trickery and wickedness has been done in the name of Satan. Christians have sold out the name of Jesus for filthy lucres' sake! His name is above every name (Phil 2:9) yet many Christians do not know how to apply His name to their situations. Christian prayer is focused on "receiving blessings" versus "receiving instruction for service in the marketplace."

The Believer must understand 1) the biblical concept of their name (as a son of the Most High God), 2) get wisdom and knowledge on the importance of God's Name through study, prayer and meditation and 3) realize the significance of acting on behalf of TNOJ.

The conclusion of the matter is this for all who submit to the Lord God in the earth realm; with His Name I LIVE (Access Granted); without His Name I DIE (Access Denied)!
